Leicester Tigers

I believe Freddie hadn't played in 6 weeks, hard to get instantly up to speed, especially against a team like Connacht who try to play fast and pretty loose. It may not have been noticed, but amongst the worse aspects of his game, Freddie made a very important tap tackle, without which Tigers would ...

Not sure why the doubt here, Tigers very strong favourites, Ulster were pretty awful for 50 minutes against Saints, had a week off and then utterly woeful last week, in fact clueless. Ulster play well when playing a succession of matches and get a rhythm going. This shambles of a season has not allo...

Top of the morning Tigers Fans. It's been a while, I've largely retired from spreading wisdom, even on the mighty UAFC where I'm having a Mexican standoff with the owner for his stubborn refusal to make me chief moderator. :smt003 However, I've always enjoyed the contests with Tigers, going back to ...

Have been intending to drop by and offer my sympathies here, just awful news for Tom & the whole Young family. I lost a very dear lady friend the same way 9 months ago.

I wish them all strength to deal with the inevitable and well done to Ben for putting family before career.

Congratulations indeed to the Scarlets, I don;t think anyone outside of Dublin is sorry to see the Mexicans slaughtered. :smt003 As for crowds, I don't know how many fans Scaaaaaaaaaaalets took over, not many I'm sure given Parc-y-Empty's cavernous emptiness but still, not even selling out a home se...

Ladies & Gentlemen, as you may recall I'm an Ulsterman and count Tigers as the English club I respect most. I looked for a post that reflects exactly what I feel about our club right now, having lost a match today at Ravenhill to bring our recent record to 4 wins from 13. Utter shambles. I under...

http://www.planetrugby.com/story/0,25883,3551_66049,00.html I wouldn't wish serious injury on any player (not even Callum Clark or Delon Armitage) but I, for one, am happy to see this thug out of the world cup. http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=teqizuet-ck Not pleasant but I'm certain after watching t...

It's been a testing season for both of our clubs. Your travelling fans were as always a credit. I wish you well in your league for the rest of the season.

Nope, I've simply moved from "we're getting a pasting" to "this could be interesting". I still think Tigers should be confident, we've a half decent front row on the bench, thereafter it's last man standing.

Ulster Rugby 15. Jared Payne; 14. Tommy Bowe, 13. Darren Cave, 12. Luke Marshall, 11. Craig Gilroy; 10. Ian Humphreys, 9. Ruan Pienaar; 1. Callum Black, 2. Rory Best (c), 3. Wiehahn Herbst, 4. Alan O'Connor, 5. Franco Van Der Merwe, 6. Iain Henderson, 7. Mike McComish, 8. Roger Wilson 16. Rob Herri...

Aye Cockatrice is probably right, I wouldn't expect more than a few mumbles, the odd "well played" and polite applause as Tigers run in try after try much as Toulon did against an Ulster defence that may as well have comprised 15 dustbins. Our "product" is enshrined in the "...

Well you will be happy to know that Ulster lost yet more players today, Paddy Jackson dislocated shoulder, Louis Ludic, popped ribs & possibly Stu Olding elbow. Difficult to know yet if the IRFU will insist on resting players again next weekend as they did this week. Quite possible since we've n...

Told you so.

Was amazed at 14-11 after 45 minutes, what were you playing at? 50 points on offer if you want it, maybe another 50 at Ulster next week.

Good luck to you tonight, I expect 5 points, Scarlets are weak away from home, you should slaughter them. Then there are 4 and possibly 5 Points on offer next week, you will never play a weaker Ulster team, furthermore a team who though they will feel obliged to try hard at home, are flattened by in...

Shockingly poor performance from Ulster against a very poor Scaaaalets. Despite playing dross we could and should have stolen the game, we don't have Leinster & Munster's knack of winning these dreadful games when the chance comes. I hope Doak will cut out the nonsense about things being mathmat...
